I remember working for a company a few years back where the senior management were really big fans of using psychological profiling for the selection of new sales staff. They had hired a profiling company to create a psychological template for their ideal new hire and always tried to employ sales people that matched [...]

Google Tech Talks February, 13 2008 ABSTRACT I present an unscripted live demo of RTPM, Azul's profiling & monitoring tool (meaning: I'll take suggestions from the audience on what buttons to push during the demo). JVM's routinely collect a lot of very useful information internally and the Azul engineers were long frustrated that this information was not readily available outside the VM: with RTPM it now is. Azul works with some of the largest Java programs around. We routinely debug performance problems in programs with hundreds of running threads (not just runnable threads) using garbage-collected heaps with 100's of gigabytes. RTPM is a big selling point with our customers, and our secret weapon for telling you what your program is doing. Always-on (low overhead) everything All

Yesterday, I wrote a post about how Google could be using the temporal patterns of paid text link buying to detect paid links. I wanted to add more examples of how Google might algorithmically detect paid text links based on Web site profiles. I don’t think that Google looks at any one factor when trying to determine whether a site is buying or selling text links. Any of the factors by themselves would not trigger anything in the algorithm. But Google has probably mined the massive amounts of data in their Web index and determined something like “98.5% of the sites that have a combination of factors x, y, and z are buying or selling text links“. Every time the algorithm changes it causes some collateral damage, so I think Google can live with that fact that some innocent sites will be penalized during the text-link witch hunt. Here are some qualities that are common among most sites that buy or sell text links. Some of them might make up the factors that Google us

Author: Grover Maurice GodwinPaperback: 376 pagesPublisher: CRC; 1st edition (November 29, 2000)Language: EnglishISBN: 0849323584(R)Offender profiling has been developing slowly as a possible investigative tool since 1841 and the publication of Edgar Allen Poe's The Murder in the Rue Morgue. In this book, detective C. Auguste Dupin demonstrates the ability to follow the thought patterns of a companion while they stroll through Paris for 15 minutes without speaking a word. Today profiling is an important investigative tool. Nevertheless, it often represents a less than educated attempt to provide law enforcement agencies with detailed information about the behavior of an unknown individual who has committed a crime. Criminal Psychology and Forensic Technology: A Collaborative Approach to Effective Profiling introduces alternative approaches to improving the way crimes are investigated and offender profiles are generated. It shows forensic evidence experts how to wor

Hello South Carolina and welcome to thwarting possible terrorist plots in a politically correct America! According to Fox News, Abda Sherf Moahamed 24, and Yousef Samir Megahed, 21, were stopped for speeding on Saturday near a Navy Base known to house enemy combatants in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Both men are students of The University of South Florida-Tampa and the car they were driving

Ever heard of hippy profiling? Surprisingly many countries make legal stipulations to airlines regarding the profiling of their passengers. For example, the Costa Rican government dictates to the airline that they will refuse “hippies” entrance into the country. If the airlines allow someone onto their flight who is denied entrance into the country for being a “hippy”, the airline will be fined and charged for your return flight. This shifts the screening process to the clerk at the airline check-in counter. While this is official policy, it must all be taken with a grain of salt because if you’ve ever been to Costa Rica you know that its full of “hippies” and I’ve never heard of anyone getting denied entrance for being a “hippy”. Even still, it is disconcerting that official profiling exists in such an institutional manner. While everyone may have various opinions on the matter, I have always found that “cleanin

Having done their job, there was no exit as far as indoctrinated minds are concerned. The same Al Qaeda later turned its guns on World Trade Center. It’s another matter that there are various interpretations of the same. Those in Lal Masjid are the left over of this Al Qaeda and associated outfits. During Zia ul Haq’s regime when Pakistan was playing the game of US in West Asia, Lal Masjid was the major place for indoctrination program and was a conduit for sending Mujahidins to Afghanistan. It was being run by Maulan Abdullah, father of the present Maulan, who was close to Zia ul Haq.Clock has tuned full circle. Today these Al Qaeda associates are not needed by Pakistani establishment so the whole game has changed its direction. It must be pointed out that the so called terrorists who are smashing the jeeps or aero planes are small fries in the bigger game which began with the lust of oil.The unfortunate part is that religion has been dragged into the murky world of greed

Such acts by Indian revolutionaries fall in this category where the personal identity is merged with the identity of the nation or the whole community. The bomb blasts carried out in Mumbai in 1993 and than in 2002, both were preceded by the strong anti minority violence first in Mumbai and then in Gujarat. What happened to Muslim community in Mumbai or in Gujarat must have sown the seeds of this insanity amongst many a youth goes without saying. That must have created a fertile ground because of which many an educated well to do youth also might have volunteered to be part of these dastardly designs.The second rough category is the one where the identity of religion is invoked to play one’s political game. And this latter was consciously executed by US in the wake of Russian armies invading Afghanistan. In the bipolar World during the cold war era, the equation of power shifted and US policy makers wanted to undo the same for strategic reasons.It was the time when the defeat of

There is a subtle hint in the air that the immigration checks and profiling of Muslims will have to be resorted to more intensely to control the acts of terror. What has terrorism to do with religion? One knows that the values of the religions teach us love, compassion and tolerance. One also knows that terrorists have come from all the religions though not due to religions. Be it the Irish Republican Army, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam, the Buddhist monks resorting to political violence in Srilanka or Thailand or ULFA in North East one can easily make out that terrorists have come from all the religions.Why do some people resort to these insane acts, which lead to the death of innocent civilians apart from other losses? Is it that they are born like that or is it due to political economic and social reasons that such acts are undertaken? In contemporary history various reasons have operated for the making of the psyche which not only kills others but is also willing to sacrifice

BusinessWeek Magazine recently covered a story on “Bloggers Bring in the Big Bucks“, profiling some of the internet’s biggest and baddest bloggers. Boingboing, Shomoney, Problogger - You name it, the story was covered complete with revenue statistics and some nifty details on what these bloggers employ to gain their success. To the best of my knowledge, not a single Canadian blogger made the list. Perhaps the good folks at Business Week didn’t know of homegrown dot com moguls such as John Chow, who bring in over $12,000 monthly. But John isn’t the only Canadian blogging super-hero. I’m pleased to let you know I’ll be touching base very soon with someone very popular in the blogosphere. His success has sky rocketed in the last six months and his blog is certainly on my list of must-reads. Oh…He’s also within the Technorati Top 50 Who am I talking about? You’ll have to keep guessing :). Alternatively, do the right thing by sign

Wow, Clark! So you can just look at someone and tell if they're evil, can you? Yeah, they aren't young and good-looking, so they must be evil. Check and see if they have any scars or skin conditions, because that'll clinch it for sure.By the same token, we all know bad people don't keep their hair nice, so designate yourself a friend of the law by putting goop in it. Quick, Sam!

Political activist Jim Goodnow of the Yellow Rose of Texas Peace Bus was stopped by two Homeland Security agents for having... too many bumper stickers on his car?Incredible as it may sound, that appears to be what happened last Saturday when Mr Goodnow was leaving my home in Washington, DC. As Mr Goodnow was standing beside his heavily stickered car and waiting for me to snap a couple pictures of him and his car from across the street, two men in suits came up to him and began questioning him. At the time I could not guess what they may have wanted but decided to take a few more photos of them from a distance. After they left Jim walked back to me and gave me the full story which, in his own words he prepared for publication on his website and you can read below. (or listen to Jim's podcast)Howdy Friends.. Jim the Bus Driver here reporting to ya'll from the nation's Capitol.A rather curious event went down as I was leaving my friends bill and patti's digs in Washington, Dc. It

The Globe and Mail09 May 2007When a police officer saw two men of Asian descent purchasing rubber boots and a water sprayer in Northern Ontario, was he engaging in racial profiling by following them? Yes, he was. Was he wrong to do so? No. The case of Han Chu Hu and Zhi Ji Chi in Timmins is an uncomfortable one for Canadians. The state should not, as a general rule, use its coercive powers

When you calibrate your monitor, you are adjusting it so it conforms to a known specification. Once your monitor is calibrated, the profiling utility lets you save a color profile. The profile describes the color behavior of the monitor—what colors can or cannot be displayed on the monitor and how the numeric color values in an image must be converted so that colors are displayed accurately. 1.

Since the 9/11 attack, security at airports and other sensitive areas has increased and people are being picked out for searches, humiliated and inconvenienced based solely on the way they look. A man with dark skin and a beard is instantly profiled as being from the Middle East and a possible...

"We now know -- beyond any doubt -- that minority drivers are targeted for humiliating, degrading roadside searches even though there is no evidence that they have broken any laws." That's how Harvey M. Grossman, Legal Director of the Illinois ACLU interprets recent stats prepared by the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety for the Illinois Department of Transportation. According to the report, in 2006, Illinois police officers asked 0.68% of white drivers for consent to search their car during traffic stops, compared to 2.04% of minority drivers. The ACLU wants to redress this balance by eliminating ALL consent searches (i.e. a police request for a search despite a lack of probable cause or reasonable suspicion of criminal activity). "State police forces in California and New Jersey have ended the practice of conducting consent searches," Grossman said. "The Illinois General Assembly should examine this data and move quickly to bar the practi

We here at TTAC have gone out of our way not to characterize Toyota Prius owners as left-leaning tree-hugging pompous, uh, people. As the Toyota gas - electric hybrid's gone mainstream-- sales north of 50k per month-- we've taken pains (pains I tell you) to point out that its success is down to the fact that the Prius is a well-built, practical car that makes economic sense. And then I get this press release from Scarborough Research (fayre enough?) that boldly declares "Hybrid Vehicle Owners are Wealthy, Active, Educated and Overwhelmingly Democratic." [Fair disclosure: I've been personally overwhelmed by more than a few Democrats at dinner parties.] It gets worse/better. Thirty-three percent of hybrid owners belong to a health club (as opposed to 18 percent of the generally obese population). They're sixty-six percent more likely to have gone biking in the last year and twice as likely to practice yoga. They're also twice as likely as the average Joe to ho
